Chapter 618: Personally Visiting The Humble Abode

Alchemists were able to cultivate materials and craft fate pills, longevity medicines, physique pastes, and various ointments. In short, things that any sect would always need, and many of these items were always in short supply.

Thus, one could imagine just how popular alchemists were. This was the case for the other worlds as well since there were less alchemists in those places and their system had yet to be as flourished and developed.

Because of this, the status of alchemists in the Stone Medicine World was much higher than that in the other worlds. Moreover, this world also produced more Alchemy Emperors.

“There are many strange things in this world.” Regarding the monarch’s worries, Bai Weng had such a conjecture: “Extraordinary people have their own train of thought; Young n.o.ble Li’s skill is enough to sweep over this world. Perhaps he considers power and fame to be useless since he can obtain whatever he wants already. With a swing of his hand, countless people would want to offer him gifts and treasures. Maybe because of this, he got tired of rowdy places.”

The Demon Monarch became worried from this: “If this was the case, then what do we have to hold him down? If he has such abilities, then not mentioning the great powers, even imperial lineages would want him as well. The Alchemy Kingdom would also be tempted. We don’t have any advantage compared to those monsters.”

Bai Weng became spirited when this issue was brought up: “We can’t guess how these extraordinary people think. Back in the county, there is an envoy named s.h.i.+ Hao. This kid is very honest and hardworking and has always wanted to become a powerful alchemist. I think Young n.o.ble Li is staying here because he wants to teach this boy. I heard s.h.i.+ Hao say that Young n.o.ble Li was teaching him pill refinement. Even if the young n.o.ble doesn’t want to take him as a disciple, he is still training the boy.”

Bai Weng paused for a bit and continued: “I have asked Young n.o.ble Li before. He wants to take a trip to the capital once. We can just introduce him to Her Majesty at that time. Whether this endeavor is successful or not, it’ll be up to Her Majesty.”

“Very well, how can we let go of such a powerful alchemist?” The demon monarch solemnly said: “I’ll personally go and pay my respects to him!”

Initially, Bai Weng wanted to recommend a young alchemist to Her Majesty, but he was astonished after seeing Li Qiye’s abilities. He knew that Li Qiye had the qualifications to act arrogantly, and whether he would stay at the Giant Bamboo Country to be an alchemist was dependent on his whims!

Such a great alchemist would have sects scrambling for his attention, so Bai Weng became even more determined to persuade the demon monarch so that he would ask Her Majesty to recruit a supreme alchemist like Li Qiye.

Meanwhile, Li Qiye continued his normal and relaxing life back at Jadeblood Mountain. He wanted to stay at the Giant Bamboo Country for a while as well as to take a look at the capital and the palace.

Under Li Qiye’s guidance, s.h.i.+ Hao mustered all of his effort into pill refinement. Although he was a simple fellow, he still knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; he wouldn’t be able to find another such wise teacher once Li Qiye leaves. As Li Qiye repeatedly demonstrated the methods, s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t dare to miss a single detail.

Bai Weng returned the next day with a companion.

Bai Weng and the Ancient Pine Demon Monarch both came to Jadeblood Mountain and noticed that the vegetation here along the mountains were full of life. The Jadeblood Bamboo planted here happily swayed back and forth as if they had come to life.

This was not strange at all. The Ancient Pine Demon Monarch was initially a pine tree, so he was very close with the flora. His arrival was naturally sensed by the vegetation on the mountain.

s.h.i.+ Hao was frightened at the monarch’s arrival. He had been an envoy for a long time but had only seen the monarch once. But now, the monarch was actually here at Jadeblood Mountain — this was something s.h.i.+ Hao wouldn’t have dreamt of before.

“You must be County Envoy s.h.i.+ Hao?” The monarch revealed a friendly smile to s.h.i.+ Hao.

The monarch ruled an entire prefecture that consisted of countless envoys, so his personal greeting left s.h.i.+ Hao aghast.

s.h.i.+ Hao eventually calmed down and quickly answered: “My lord, that is me.”

The demon monarch didn’t act condescendingly at all as he politely said: “We are here to visit Young n.o.ble Li.”

s.h.i.+ Hao didn’t dare to waste time and quickly led the two of them to see Li Qiye.

Inside the room, Li Qiye was still nonchalant after seeing a big shot like the demon monarch. To him, the monarch was not a big shot at all since he had seen too many true grand characters.

“Young n.o.ble Li’s visit to the Giant Bamboo Country is our honor.” The monarch hastily said upon their meeting.

“The Giant Bamboo Country is indeed a place worth remembering.” Li Qiye replied with a smile.
